Bald Spot

Friends. My dear, dear friends.

I think I've mentioned it before, but I was blessed with an abnormally large forehead. Some could call it a five-head. I don't think its awkward or extra noticeable, but growing up I was always a little self conscious about it.

My family (mostly my mom) tried the bangs route for most of my childhood.

You can thank my cowlick for making bangs extra difficult for this girl, i.e. the 'half-bang' look. Yeah, I rocked it growing up and I rocked it well.

As I got older I began to appreciate my forehead. I realized it was a part of me and accepted that it sometimes looks bigger than other peoples entire faces.

The best part of this forehead, though, is that it is in direct contact with the sun. Since it is so high, the top inch or so faces the sky and relishes in its light. This top part of my forehead has been lovingly nicknamed my "bald spot". Flattering, I know.

Since I work outside for a good part of the day, the bald spot has become increasingly contrasted against the rest of my face. And like it usually does, there is a noticeable, almost perfectly straight line where the bald spot ends and the normal sized forehead begins.

Don't worry. Here is proof.


Now tell me you can't see that. Its like two shades darker. At least.

The saddest part is now its some kind of weird game I play. Like, "lets see how dark I can get my bald spot!" I think I'm going to see how awesome it gets in the next few weeks. I'll post another pic if its worth it.

Pathetic.

PS On a different note, I've always been told I have really long eyelashes and I never really thought they were super long...until this picture. Weird.

PPS Who doesn't love posts about foreheads?

So ... I hope you don't mind me stalking your blog. I just had to say that the "five-head" comment had me rolling. I don't know what rock I've been living under, but I've never heard that one before. I have a five-head too, so I'll definitely get some good use out of it.

I've always said mine is like a billboard. I could easily charge ad space on it.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
